your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each Web site can send its own cookie to your browser if your
browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Web site to access the
cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Browsers are usually set to accept
cookies. However, if you would prefer not to receive cookies, you may alter the configuration of your browser to
refuse cookies. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some areas of our site will
not function as effectively when viewed by the users. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive or pass on
computer viruses.
